If you honestly can't think of better reason than that then I despair... really.Wahful said:
Yeah because no-one ever managed to organise a piss-up before the days of facebook.....bahumat42 said:
It may surprise you young man that only a scant few years ago there were no mobile phones and no internet, yet students managed to get drunk just fine.
I'd click yes just to see if it worked, that and for all I know BOTH buttons do the same thing >.>
Or I'd click neither button and close the window, depends what mood I;m in at the time, right now I'd click yes though.

No.
I've said this so many times on these forums already; let people enjoy whatever the fuck it is they enjoy as long as it's not severely hurting anyone else.
For the love of god people, keep this in mind.

I think an application of suspension of disbelief is required for this theoretical debate, we're to take it as granted that the popup can and will do exactly what it seems to be offering.9_6 said:
I would just click the close button unless there isn't one or it?s appearing again later. Either way I would click no since I wouldn't take it seriously. I don't use facebook that much anyway so it won't be a bad thing if I click no unlike those who use it all the time.
I would only kill facebook mobile, I'm sick of going out to the pub with mates and most of them are sat there updating facebook, usually with crap like "just had a pint, lololololol/woop woop", or using that stupid app that lets the whole planet know that they're sat in my livingroom.
Thats partly the reason why I wont be suckered into buying a smartphone, I like to be left alone when I go into town, not have the thing beeping away all day at every pathetic thing my mates can think of

Although it says as clear as day in the first post that it could easily be fakeContinuity said:

I said suspension of disbelief, I didn't say you had to straight-up believe it. Do you need me to explain to you how artificial scenarios can be used to create interesting debate about a serious topic?9_6 said:
Yes well I was disregarding that because obviously everyone with an IQ above 6 would realise straight away that it was fake and probably a scam.. rendering this whole thread entirely pointless, rather than sparking an interesting debate about facebook.SoulSalmon said:
No, I think Facebook's great (for the most part).
It helps me keep in contact with friends and organize things.

No for a couple reasons
1. Why would I, even if I didn't use it?... Why get rid of something that isn't doing any harm to you and you can easily avoid it.
2. It keeps me in contact with family, friends and the local goings ons. Normally I wouldn't be as privy to that infomation. Also I can keep in contact with relatives and friends who live abroad where it would cost a sizeable amount to phone.
3. Its pretty damn useful, specially if your a student in college. The teachers can give you updates as to whether or not college will be shut and such. They can update on work progress and easily get a hold of you if they thing something in your work may be wrong and see if you can fix it. You can also easily get a hold of them if you kneed to know anything for your work.
4. It helps really stupid criminals get caught. Mostly because dumb shits don't realise that once its on the internet, the info can be recovered by the police. So say you threaten to kill me or seriously hurt me or anyone else, all it takes is a phone call to the police and you've got solid evidence there. Than and if your stupid enough to take pictures of your self unmasked robbing a house and post them on the victims facebook page...
How come I get this feeling that most that voted 'yes' did it out of the fact that facebook is conformist?
